Don't buy a Gateway!

Bought an e-machines in December from Best Buy. Have sent it in for repair (to Gateway) 3 times, every time came back with same problem. Makes a funny sound "like a jackhammer" when playing music. Have told them if they can't fix it, send me a new one! They just sent me another box to send it in again! Called the corporate office and the guy was a dick! Worst experience I have ever had when buying something!

That sucks man, I have sworn by Gateway for years and continue to buy from them. Sounds like you just got a defect, they should give you a new one, I don't know why they are being retards about it.

I've had a Gateway since 97 and the only problem that was wrong it was the modem went. I still use it to today but am thinking to buying another computer just due to the fact I feel it is slow compared to today's computers. My brother on the other hand has a gateway of 3 years and he's had several problems with it. I guesss it just depends on your luck and if you get a good one or a lemon.
